I started an office job about 5 months ago. As excited as I am about working in my field also sit at a desk for 10 hours a day I was nervous about gaining weight. It isn't surprising that making the transition from waitress tax accountant may put on a couple pounds. I started noticing in January and then I lost what I gained. This time though I really noticed when I put on my favorite pencil skirt and felt like I put on a corset. So I took a deep breath and stepped on the scale. The number was high... way. too. high. I panicked. How the heck did I gain 16 pounds?!?!?!?! Needless to say I need to get my rear in gear. Now. For life.
Not only have I noticed my clothes not fitting but other things too. I am tired all the time. I guess that getting up at 5 AM every day is not helping but I should not be tired all the time. I now have back fat. I have never had back fat even when I weighed the most I have ever weighed in my life. Where did that come from?
Also, I don't believe in diets. I think they work but unless you want to eat salads forever you may want to rethink your diet. So the changes that I am making over the next 100 days are changes that I plan on doing forever. I also think if you change too many things at a time you are setting yourself up for failure. With that in mind, in addition to the 100 days of working out I will implement one change every week starting week two. I want to drink more water, eat more fruits and veggies, and cut out artificial sweeteners to name a few of the sub goals I have.
So this blog is here to get me motivated and to hold myself accountable. I will update it a few times a week. I will do weekly weigh-ins on Saturday mornings.
Well I am off for a Saturday morning job. Here goes nothing!
